Indented Cutaway! Pro Hardshell case included! Gorgeous! The wood of Sunset is what I the way I like to refer to Cocobolo. It is one of America most striking tonewoods and grows all over Central and Northern South America. It blossoms in Guatemala, Panama and Belize... The texture of the grain is tight and this allows the wood to resonate like a bell. It also allows me to finish her like no other tonewood. When lacquer covers the wood, all the nuances of reds, yellows, oranges and deep brown and black come to life with force.

The decoration of her lines and edges is perfect and she is pure art from every angle. An easy action from a stylized neck with a gentle 20" radius make her a pleasure to play.

"Black & White guitar " is her rightful name. I used Maple for the Back and sides, top, fingerboard and the marquetry. Ebony for the armrest, bridge, tie, bindings and, again, the marquetry. I then decided to try a new cutaway in a U shape with a pointy finish and a double sound hole system. The double sound hole allows for a better separation of voices. The sound is never diminished because the right hand never covers the main exit point of the sound. I often refer to Maple as "The Northern Hemisphere Rosewood". The reason is that Maple has an amazing tap tone and produces a sound that competes neck to neck with Brazilian rosewood and the other Tropical species only it does not even need a fraction of the pampering. The Brazilian Choro I play on her is lively and vibrant. The trebles and mid ranges sing marvelously. The bass is strong and ...
